Benin Republic head coach, Gernot Rohr, has expressed his support for the new Super Eagles head coach, Eric Chelle, as Nigeria aims to revive their 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification campaign.
Eric Chelle, appointed by the Nigeria Football Federation, has the important task of guiding the team towards securing a place in the World Cup jointly hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
Rohr, who previously led the Super Eagles from 2016 to 2021 and guided them to the 2018 World Cup and two Africa Cup of Nations tournaments, recognizes the magnitude of the challenge ahead for Chelle.
Recall that despite his lasting spell with the Super Eagles, the 71-year-old German tactician failed to win any major title with the national team. The NFF failed to extend his contract due to his failure to meet expectations.
Speaking to Nation Sports, Gernot Rohr, who is trying to qualify Benin Republic for the 2025 FIFA World Cup, extended his best wishes to Eric Chelle, acknowledging the tough road to qualification but also emphasizing that there is still a path to success.
“Of course, I know Eric Sékou Chelle is now with Nigeria, and good luck to him. It’s not going to be easy (for Chelle) to qualify for the World Cup, but of course, everything is still possible,” Rohr said.

Rankings were based on things like landmarks, culture, food, friendliness, shopping, and overall value. The final scores were averages of all those categories.</p><p>While Montreal landed in a very respectable second place, Quebec City held onto its title — again. For those counting, that's 10 years straight that the capital has claimed the crown, making it not just a local favourite, but an international one too.</p><p>According to T+L, readers were particularly charmed by Quebec City's "French architecture and winding streets, excellent food and shopping, and the evocative historic atmosphere of Vieux-Québec."

The city was praised for its culture, cuisine, and value, and actually climbed one spot higher than last year. From arts festivals to late-night eats to a nightlife scene that doesn't really sleep, Montreal continues to leave a mark on visitors, even if it's not quite first-place material.</p><p>Quebec's one-two punch didn't go unnoticed either. With both Montreal and Quebec City earning top-tier scores, the province is clearly holding its own against heavyweights like Vancouver, Halifax, and Victoria — all of which rounded out the top five.</p><p>So, the next time someone asks which Canadian cities are worth the hype, just tell them two of the best are only a train ride apart. And neither of them is Toronto.</p><p><span></span>Here's the full 2025 list from Travel + Leisure:</p> <ol> <li> <strong>Quebec City, QC</strong> – Score: 86.79</li> <li> <strong>Montreal, QC</strong> – Score: 82.93</li> <li> <strong>Vancouver, BC</strong> – Score: 82.79</li> <li> <strong>Halifax, NS</strong> – Score: 82.26</li> <li> <strong>Victoria, BC</strong> – Score: 80.70</li> </ol><p><em>Love this?
